Jus Jase started his career in Trinidad as a rap artist back in 1983. By 1988/89 he won major rapping competitions which lead him to key opening gigs with the likes of Naughty by Nature, Queen Latifah, C&C Music Factory and Crystal Waters to name a few. He eventually ended up being the "emcee" or "hype man" for one of the top DJ groups in Trinidad at that time "Downtown Outlaws" in '90/'91.
Jase first hit radio in late '91 doing The Other Side of Midnight on Monday nights (12am-5am) on 95.1 FM. This is how he got formerly introduced to the turntables. After showing rapid growth and potential, 95.1 FM management decided to give him a daytime slot and by '93 he established 3 top rated weekend mixshows.
Since then he gained more experience working on-air at other top radio stations: 96.1WEFM; and was Music Director at Power 102 FM. He was the Program Administrator at THE VIBE CT 105FM and head of production at 98.9 YES FM.
But it didn't stop there. He was a member of one of the leading soca bands of Trinidad and Tobago - SURFACE (on VP Records) - the world's only Caribbean band that appeared on stage with a live DJ. Jus Jase always complimented Surface's performances with classic cuts, scratches and mixes from his turntables. In the group's live act Jase was even singing, rapping and chanting at different intervals.
At present Jus Jase is on-air 7 days a week on Trinidad's hottest R&B radio station EBONY 104 FM:
The Drive: Mon-Fri 3pm-6pm
The Jump Off: Saturday 4pm-8pm
Reggae Nite: Sunday 9pm-12midnight
Jus Jase is also heavily in demand on the party circuit (both locally and internationally) as well as in the advertising industry. He produces, voices and stars in countless television and radio commercials, jingles, voice-overs, CD samplers and promotional programs, emcees major concerts, produces beats and remixes for local and international acts, runs his own recording studio: Jase Jam Productions and is extremely well respected in all music genres (Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae & Soca). He is currently a member of the elite Tech.Nitions organization (a worldwide movement of top DJs, on-air personalities and industry trendsetters) as the No.1 Draft Pick of 2003, making him THE ONLY DJ representing the Caribbean in the crew.
To top it off, Jus Jase was featured on the cover of popular entertainment Caribbean Magazine ( 411 Magazine ) and made a guest DJ slot on BET's Rap City.
